he's going to do local tv hits today around the country, and john boehner gets a "wall street journal" editorial, which is really just speaking to his base. the president is speaking to the american people, making the case these cuts are bad for them, and the republicans really are not in a position to respond effectively. when you're in the congressional wing of the party, democrats or republicans, you're not able to effectively compete with the presidency. the republicans learned that in '94 during the government shutdown, they are going to learn it again this time. >> president obama was just reelected. there's a sense america believes he wants to be reasonable in all of this, and, you know, i talk about the great reasonableness tour of 2012. he spent a lot of time trying to prove himself as someone who wants to negotiate. >> right. it's interesting, because it's similar and it's different to when this fight began. it's helpful to remind people this began in 2011 when there was a serious crisis. literally, on august 3rd the estimate was we were going to default on our debt and the

it's the same dynamic that we've seen time and time again where john boehner cannot keep his troops in line. he cannot depend on democrats. and he can only go to democrats so many times. i'm not optimistic at all. >> when you talk about not putting political capital on the line. people who don't cover the white house may not understand they're not even talking through back channels. they're just waiting to see what emerges. >> they are you talking through back channels, and they're going for the minimum. libby said it wasn't a grand bargain. it's not even a baby grand bargain. they're keeping the music playing. that's the goal of keeping congress and government hope. it's an up right piano in a dance hall let alone a baby grand bargain on spending. >> libby, you're talking about partial appeal the on the sequester. i'm not sure how you do that since it was a haircut off the top, the same percentage in all the departments spread the pain. how do you do a partial roll back of it? >> they may be able to give departments more control over how they allocate their budget, but there has been

i like john boehner. i happen to think that he is a good american and wants the government to really do what we're supposed to be doing. is that we're helping people where people can't be helped any further by their own initiatives. i personally believe he is in for a sad awakening next year. and i would like him to stand up and say let's have a clean vote on the budget. that is what we need right now. let's get on with the other issues of the debt and the other issues of where this country is going in terms of its investments. if you look at the last four months in terms of economic growth. if you look at the housing prices and where mortgages are going and where -- now we have a decline, thank god, in foreclosures. we're going in the right direction. but these republicans don't want this president to succeed. and that is where it is at. people are not dumb. they can understand this. i support the health care act, i think it is going to work. they don't want it to be successful. why not? should they have
